180th Annual General Conference – Saturday Afternoon Session

I made it home from work to watch this session at home (4 PM start where I am). It was much easier to pay attention at work. Saturdays are always slow, so I could just watch the session.

180th Annual General Conference – Saturday Morning Session

Another  General Conference is here. Time sure does fly by. Somehow or other it has worked out that I’m working again today, so I watched this session at work. I will be able to get home before the afternoon session starts. I have no idea what the messages will be. The economy is slowly improving,

178th Semiannual General Conference – Sunday Afternoon Session

Like we did yesterday afternoon, we watched conference at home. Unfortunately, unlike yesterday, the video feed was pretty bad. Yesterday everything loaded perfectly right from the start. Today, I couldn’t get anything to play until about 15 minutes after the session started. Even the audio stream from the Church web site would cut out. BYU.tv

178th Semiannual General Conference – Saturday Afternoon Session

As we’ve done the last few conferences, we watched the afternoon session at home. It was awesome! The Church has a new video player that performed incredibly. When you visit http://lds.org/move/ you can see a video that is about 640 x 360 pixels. There is a full screen option, which actually does go to a

178th Semiannual General Conference – Saturday Morning Session

My postings from the April General Conference sessions brought a lot of visitors (although no comments), so I figured I’d do the same this time. I already take notes anyway and include them in my journal, so this is just an extension of that. When I first got to the church, there was only 1
